Hmong Southeast Puav Pheej - Hmong New Year 2016-2017

Dear North Carolinians and the East Coast Squad who attended the Hmong Southeast Puav Pheej Hmong New Year in North Carolina,

You have blown me away with your support on my Hmong Xauv tops! While I wasn’t physically there, each day I would receive a text message from one of my sisters on how people were responding to my tops and I couldn’t have been happier!

From pictures shared of posters from the field, the merchandise booth display and finally, hearing that people stopped to look at my tops, and then purchased them, I truly felt like I was there, too! Thank you so much everyone! I know the feeling of being blessed and this was another delightful wave of it!

The Hmong Xauv top took two years to develop from start to finish. My focus on the design placement, the printing company, the sizing and fabric samples all took priority to create the quality that you see and feel. After 15 years in creating and designing, I always knew that I wanted to create pieces of art that my Hmong community can love and connect with. So far in my pursuit of creating Hmong inspired art, I have created my leggings with the xauv design as well as this top.

Your responses to my creations are my rewards.

It really is a pleasure to see your reactions to my tops. I can’t tell you how many times people have STOPPED me to point to my top and excitedly exclaim that they no longer need to wear a real one. Haha! Your love and support of my tops goes back into redesigning and constructing new ideas for my Hmong community. Thank you so much!

My Xauv tops would not be in North Carolina if it weren't for these two: My amazing sisters, Nancy and Pagnia Xiong, who worked their butt off for four days. Thank you for your time and dealing with my tops. I got you covered for your next meal!

And the good vibes just doesn’t end! It’s always a pleasure to see Shu Lor and Kong Lor rollin' with Hmong music on stage. Check out their 360 concert view from their latest performance in North Carolina!

To end this blog post, have a wonderful holiday season! Snow is definitely going to hit Minnesota and Wisconsin so stay warm!
